    Can I get those cool Slackware quotes in Kubuntu?

    Hey everyone. New to this, so please bear with me.

    I don't know if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything on it in the forum searches I did, and this didn't quite seem to fit in the other categories, so here goes:

    A buddy of mine used to have Slackware 10 on his laptop, before switching to Kubuntu Feisty Fawn, after which I also got into the wonderful world of Linux.

    Does anyone know of any scripts or something of the sort that can make my konsole in Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon throw up those awesome quotes whenever you open a new shell, like what happens in Slackware? I'm finding it hard to find very specific info on this on the web, so thought I'd take a jab at asking it here.

    Any help and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.

      Install package 'fortune-mod' (if it's not installed), and add:
      Code:
      fortune
      at the end of ~/.bashrc (if you use bash as the shell)

        That easy, huh? I tried searching for a package that does it, but it helps alot when you actually have the name.
        Cool, thanks alot.

        I don't suppose there's a way to get them to run whenever I open the shell? Oh well, I suppose beggars can't be choosers. Thanks again.

          Putting the fortune command in ~/.bashrc should do it (.bashrc is sourced everytime a bash shell is started)...or do you mean something else with "whenever I open the shell"? (every time you run a command? every time you minimize/restore konsole?)

            No, that did work fine. Thanks. Sorry, I didn't realize at first that you meant to add it to the actual file. So was typing:

            Code:
            fortune
            In the Shell itself every time.

            Thanks again for the help.
